TOKYO -- Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance will work with Japanese regional banks to offer a one-stop service for smaller businesses hoping to sell their "made in Japan" products in the U.S. through Amazon.com.
Japanese goods popular abroad include green tea, sake, small digital devices, and such everyday items as ceramics and kitchen knives. Small and midsize businesses excel at handling such products manufactured in low quantities but have not been able to fully tap overseas demand.
